Dog Tired (1942) User Reviews

Animation historians have long puzzled over exactly WHY . . .

. . . Warner Bros. would release DOG TIRED just one week after MGM trotted out its inane, insipid, over-rated fifth Tom and Jerry offering, DOG TROUBLE (a couple titles easily confused!), and WHY the MPAA movie censorship folks have deleted, erased, redacted, and suppressed all the evidence that Warner Bros.' DOG TIRED ever was assigned its legally required certification number (which it was!) This week, for the first time in DOG TIRED's 75-year-history, The Truth behind these conundrums finally can be revealed. This brief cartoon from those Warner Bros. Prognosticators Extraordinaire (aka, the Looney Tuners), always adept at Clairvoyantly Predicting America's Upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti facing us in (The Then) Far Future through their Art, shows a series of scenes set in a zoo of animals swallowing each other. One does not need to be a charter member of the Warnologist Society to fathom that this cannibalistic zoo stands for Today's America. The animals within this chaotic enclosure also are easily recognizable. (For instance, the laughing hyena is Kellyanne Conwoman, mouthpiece for Red Commie KGB Chief Vlad "The Mad Russian" Putin's High Treason Administration in Washington, DC, and the hippo can only be Chris Christie, Red Commie-controlled Repug Party Governor of New Jersey.) MSNBC reported today (8/17/17) that 40% of all Americans are demanding IMPEACHMENT of Putin's White House Sock Puppet Don Juan Rump after the latter's endorsement this week of Fascist Nazis and the Racist KKK. DOG TIRED concludes with as many characters as will fit winding up in a kangaroo's pouch. This is in line with the many other Warner Bros.' prophetic warning cries for ALL of the Deplorable Traitors to be permanently deported someplace far, far away, such as Australia (symbolized by DOG TIRED's kangaroo), Russia, or--best of all--Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf B. This of course would include Third Lady Melancholia Rump and her crocodile tears, First Daughter Iwanna "Buy-my-Stuff" Rump, one-time mouthpiece Sean Spicerack, Putin's Secretary of Miseducation Billionairess Betsy "Amway Calling" DeVoss, KGB Spy Gen. Mike "In Like" Flynn, Secretary of Illness Tom the-Price-is-Right, Environmental Pollution Agency (EPA) Tsar Scott Ruin-It, Secretary of Our Ruined State Rex "Exxon Valdez" Tillerson, and each of the 100 million plus other Red Commie Rump-supporting Fellow Traveler Fifth Columnists, whom CNN declared to be Unsalvageable Racists in the aftermath of Charlottesville this week. Remember, if you're a Looney Tunes fan, you saw it first on DOG TIRED!

Good really good

Chuck Jones has picked up some speed. This was the zoo visit. Lots of cartoons plot involves characters going to the zoo but this one does it best. I don't really like these two curious dogs very much but here that did not ruin the show for me. The hyena laughing was good the first time but it probably should have been used sparingly. It still did not do any damage to the cartoon in its entirety. Most of the gags were repeated like the stork attempting to stand but keeps failing. The dog falling in the kangaroo's pouch. I guess the worst thing is the love birds. If some time was reduced on that or if it were removed entirely it would be magnificent. Anyway all in all an enjoyable cartoon.
